Meet New City Council Zoning Chairman Alderman Gil Villegas at NBOA Advocacy & Policy Breakfast Meeting – Tuesday, April 28, 8:30AM; Ann Sather Restaurant

Dear NBOA Friends and Colleagues, You are cordially invited to attend the Neighborhood Building Owners Alliance’s 18th NBOA Advocacy & Policy Breakfast Meeting, which promises to be both insightful and engaging. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 28, at 8:30 AM, at the Ann Sather Restaurant located at 909 W. Belmont.
We are delighted to welcome Alderman Gil Villegas as our featured speaker for a return visit. Recently elected as the new Chairman of the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks, and Building Standards, Ald.

Villegas recognizes that fostering economic growth is key to resolving the City’s fiscal challenges. The City Council’s decision to elect Ald. Villegas—over Mayor Johnson’s nominee, Socialist Ald.
